Tag Archives: Sprint Conditioning

Today I have a special guest post from my friend Mike Whitfield, creator of the NEW Sprint Conditioning System
Sometimes, you just need a good swift kick in the butt. You’re either at a plateau or you feel like your metabolism is slowing down.
You won’t see athletes hitting plateaus… and you won’t see them walking mindlessly on treadmills, either.
Did you know that sprints or bodyweight exercise alternatives to sprints not only smoke fat faster than any other exercise, but they also will:
- Improve your muscular endurance (meaning even BETTER workouts)
- Burn the MOST calories both during AND after exercise
- Improve your overall fitness (making everyday activities like carrying groceries and playing with your kids easier)
Todays workout will show you how to incorporate both bodyweight exercise and sprints to get a kick ass workout in a short period of time.
But first, let’s look at some sprint alternatives for those of you that do not have access
Alternative Sprint # 1 – Total Body Extensions at a Very Rapid Pace
- Start with your feet just outside shoulder-width apart in the Quarter Squat position.
- Your arms should be extended behind your glutes and you should look straight ahead.
- Now rapidly come up on your toes and extend your arms above your head.
- Return to the starting position as quickly as possible.
Alternative Sprint # 2 – Split Shuffle at a Very Rapid Pace
- Start in a split stance with your arms in the “run position” as if you’re about to sprint
- Shuffle your feet back and forth as fast as possible (your left arm should go out in front when your left goes out)
Alternative Sprint # 3 – Jumping Jacks at a Very Rapid Pace
You know this old school exercise – just go as fast as possible!
Now that you have your sprint options, let’s rock this Sprint Conditioning Workout:
